Farmall H PTO Shaft

Hello out there. I went to replace the PTO retainer on my 1953 H and ran into a problem. I pulled out the PTO shaft part way to inspect the bearings and now I can't get the PTO shaft to go back in all the way. I tried in and out of gear, manipulating the PTO level, and clutching it --- no success.
Is there a trick to this I'm not aware of ?
Appreciate any help.

Did you rotate the shaft by hand while pushing it forward? Might need to put the pto in gear to accomplish that.
 
Provided the shift sleeve grove is still in the shift lever. Move shifter to engaged so the shift tube engages the countershaft splines. Push down on the rear of pto shaft and wiggle to raise the front of tube. May need a helper to turn the engine with transmission in neutral to get the splines right. After that slide a pipe over the end of shaft. Hold up with one hand near the bearing and push down on the rear of the pipe, turn shaft as needed to go in the shift sleeve splines.
Or leave pto disengaged, get the pto shaft back in the sleeve splines and then use a pipe to get the pilot end of the pto shaft in the counter shaft. If nothing works remove the housing.

The only "trick" is that you need to get the front end of the shaft to enter a 3/4" hole in the transmission counter shaft. Leave the PTO disengaged so you won't have to line up the splines at the same time. Once you get the PTO nearly in place wiggle it around to see where the shaft is at and then pull the PTO back just enough so the the PTO will move in the direction of where you felt the shaft. You are trying to find a small hole with the end of shaft 30" from where you can control it.
 
Thank you greatly for all the replies. I read most of the comments and then went to work. I pulled out the whole shaft and looked in. I saw that the shaft has a sleeve and that the shaft has splines on the far end. So, I put the tractor in gear and aimed straight feeling the shaft hit the back end and then rotated gently until I felt the splines hit the hole - went in smoothly and without trouble.
Thank you for all the help folks.
